Pros

Salary was good for the industry. Worked many years for a great Area director. Until regions were switched.

Cons

Leadership team that lacks the understanding to run sit down restaurants, squeezing profit out of the buildings at the expense of guest service, unrealistic budgets, creates core values (employer of choice) yet has no meaningful action to make this reality, HR is biased and associates with staff outside of business, constant changes to leadership, leadership came from another restaurant and has moved most original staff out to hire friends from last restaurant franchise (TGIF), high accountability with no support, concerned with looking good instead of being good. (Don't work for TSFR AppleVenture).

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
